Democrats made the same accusations at the end of both Bush presidencies and Reagan's before that. Remember you can find somebody to make any outlandish claim. It's the corporate media who decides which claims see the light of day and since they favor the left it's only the right's crazies who make the "news".

Apart from that i think (personal opinion) that Obama has been the most reasonable and intelligent president of the US, since a long time. I still wonder how it was possible that he was elected.

Reasonable has not been a word i'd use to describe him. Obama had a chance to bring both sides together but instead chose to exacerbate and deepen the divide among Americans. Significant numbers of Americans believe race relations have gotten worse under this reasonable and intelligent president.

Why is there no other candidate than those two?

Actually there are two other candidates in the election. The one i'm voting for, the Libertarian parties candidate Gary Johnson, and the Green party candidate Jill Stein. Gary is currently polling around 7-9% and Stein around 3%. But to both the Dems and the Republicans i'm "throwing my vote away".
